Around one in 12 South Sudanese are affected by one of the worst flood seasons of recent years.
Over a million people in South Sudan have been affected by floods across much of the country, the UN’s humanitarian organisation, Ocha, has said.
This is one of the worst flood seasons that South Sudan – a country with a population of more than 11 million people - has experienced in recent decades. He added that the government was urging people in areas threatened by floods to “immediately move to higher grounds that have been identified by local authorities for their safety”.In May, the government alerted the international community to the risk of exceptional floods that were expected to hit the country in the subsequent months.
